It's not because he didn't win it. It's because they are broke because of their own idiotic policies, like having sanctuary cities. They thumb their noses at federal laws and stated that they'll continue even if they are denied federal aid because of it. Now they are finding that their liberal policies are unsustainable, which is always the case, and they expect the rest of the country to bail them out. If they want aid, they need to obey laws. Not difficult.
California has been in trouble for a long time. They waste their budget on their crazy ideas and then the tax payers get IOUs instead of actual refunds. They don't have money for pensions. They've chased tax payers out of the state and their financial trouble is their own doing. If we bail them out, they'll just continue to increase spending on illegal aliens and other stupid shit.
Time for them to learn about having a budget.
It's one thing when states needed help with the Obamacare law because they didn't all want it. Even then, they were on their own when the federal dollars ran out. Why should California be treated special when they haven't even tried to fix their problem?
This is all true and is the best example of why food stamps, welfare, public assistance for working at Walmart and minimum wage jobs should be withdrawn from red states in the future.
It should be withdrawn from all states.
All it takes, is a fifteen dollar an hour minimum wage and fourteen dollars an hour for simply being unemployed in our at-will employment States.
And that accomplishes what......more government dependents?
No thanks, I'm supporting enough able bodied people as it is. If you need more money, work more hours. That's what we did in this country in the 70's and 80's. Many of us worked Saturdays, sometimes Sundays, and even had two jobs.
WTF is my sick old ass waking up at 5:00 am to support these people? If anything, they should be supporting me.
Some of us, like me right now, have since September working 7 days a week, with no days off since it started in September.
I work monday through friday at the Institute from 10pm until 6 am, monday through friday nights. Then Saturday and Sunday nights come in at 8pm and leave at 8am the following morning, Like I said, that has been since September and I have not had one single night off. I even worked Christmas Eve, Christmas, and New Years Eve and New years day. I worked Thanksgiving, and on those holidays I worked extra because I covered partial shifts for others that wanted the time of for family.
But thats not the end of it, I also work for my Brother-in-law Monday through Thursday, from 3pm until 6pm, He owns a small business and I fill in at the store for those hours, most Saturdays I work the store for him from 9am until 1pm. many hours but, from just the institute alone it is bringing me paychecks that are just shy of $1800.00 a week.
I just had the Taxes done for last year, taken from the checks over the year my wife and I paid $37,000 in taxes, that's just what was taken from the pay, I was actually hoping to get some what of a refund this year, however to my surprise we freaking OWED an additional $9,000.00 (give or take a couple dollars).
Im 58 years old and it really pisses me off when I work like I do and then see some able bodied POS sitting on their ass all day doing nothing but collecting money from my paycheck. If I can do it at 58, I see no reason that someone in their 20s through,, well, 60s cant do the same damn thing.
Of course these hours at the institute are going to change, I let them know a few weeks back. They just hired someone to take the weekend night shift, I have just a couple of weekends to "train" them, which is basically introducing them to the clients and getting the clients to recognize him, and bringing him up to date on the medications and times they are given for each client. I will also sit in on his counseling sessions, (yes, we counsel at night, I actually have 3 group sessions that start at 1:30 am).
I'm at work right now as a matter of fact.
So like I said, it really pisses me off to have to pay for someone else to live for free. If they actually CANT work because of some disability, a real disability, then I am more than happy to contribute some of my time in order for them to have a place to live and some food on their table. But not if they can work but just decided to collect from social programs instead.
